Gareth Bale, who in the 81st minute scored the equalizer for Wales against the United States (1-1) on his debut at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar from a penalty, declared that he was “happy with the goal” , but that ” I prefer three points.”
Bale, 33, played in his first game at a World Cup – the second played by Wales, 64 years after the first – and leveled, from a penalty, the goal scored by Tim Weah, son of the legend that is George Weah. A goal that was his 41st in 109 games with the Welsh team.
“We are focused on this game, nothing more. They played well in the first half, so we had to change some things in the second. In the end, it was a good point,” said Bale, winner of five Champions League with Real Madrid before winning the North American championship (MLS) with Los Angeles FC a month ago.
“At the break we had to do some tricks, we had to regroup, which is what good teams do,” Bale said.
tired but happy
“I’m happy to have taken the penalty and to have scored, but I would have preferred the three points”, commented Bale, who admitted that he finished the game “tired”.
“But we will move forward, that’s what we have to do for our country,” Bale said at the Ahmad bin Ali stadium in Al Rayyan after his team’s 1-1 draw against the United States.
